Please confirm that the cartridge you received is the correct model.

 

Once you have confirmed you have the correct cartridge for your printer, the first step is to remove the clip from the cartridge.  The clip protects the ink ports and also keeps the cartridge from leaking.
 

Please keep in mind that there are various styles of clips and that the clip we are removing in this video may not be identical to the one on your cartridge.  Clips will vary in color, size and shape depending on the cartridge model and supplier of your remanufactured inkjet. 
 

If the cartridge is still not fitting into the machine after you have removed the clip, please make sure that you are installing your cartridge into the correct location in the printer.  Please consult your printer’s user manual to learn how to correctly install your remanufactured inkjet cartridge.

Note: Our cartridges for Brother may not be the same shape or size as Brother original cartridges.  This is done purposefully to ensure that patents are not infringed.  However they are made to work perfectly with the Brother printer, so if the model is correct for your printer, it should fit, just don't expect it to look exactly the same as the original.
